Prepare Me

Dear Lord,

I am starting this week with my spiritual eyes open so that I may see all that you need me to see. Thank you for alerting me to the things that I should be praying about and the things that I should pay extra attention to. Lord may I not be too distracted to hear Your Voice when You tell me to go or to wait.

I pray that I will not stumble over any obstacles in my path because I have paid attention to what You showed me. I pray that I will not become dismayed by what presents itself as a challenge this week, because I remember that You have everything under control.

When situations arise that make my outlook appear less than positive, remind me of the vision Lord. Make it plain before me so that I can focus on what is ahead rather than the past and present distractions.

Finally Lord, please prepare me for the warfare that is certain along my path. There are forces in this world that do not want me to walk out my destiny in You Lord. They will try every sneaky way they can to thwart the plan You have for my life, but I am not willing to stray from Your Will.

Strengthen me, cover me and present me with the strategy necessary to make it through this round victoriously. Thank You Lord, I pray these things in Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Psalm 9:2-4 (The Message)

I’m thanking you, God, from a full heart, I’m writing the book on your wonders.
I’m whistling, laughing, and jumping for joy;
I’m singing your song, High God.

The day my enemies turned tail and ran,
they stumbled on you and fell on their faces.
You took over and set everything right;
when I needed you, you were there, taking charge.
